  • Reply BrendaLea Abbott April 2, 2019 at 4:04 pm

    Caly, these are stunning. Not just because of the shiny Nuvo Mousse, or the gold foil, but because of your way to put it all together….your design and vision. Plus it doesn’t hurt that you are using these awesome products from Altenew.

    definitely going to have to try using the blending brush to apply the mousse – such a fantastic background for those beautiful Altenew flowers!

    Beautiful! Love all the shine!

  • Reply Queen Mary April 2, 2019 at 5:23 pm

    GORGEOUS with the mousse — does the blending brush clean easily? can you just brush off the mousse the way you can with ink? If so that’s an incredible “hack”! 🙂 And beautiful cards — now what color of mousse to get first????

    • Reply Ellen Hutson LLC April 3, 2019 at 5:23 am

      Hi Queen Mary! Carly recommends cleaning with soap & water and then letting air dry.

  • Reply Sally L. Powers April 2, 2019 at 5:30 pm

    That embellishment mousse is gorgeous and the foiling machine, well. I thought you had to have special dies to use it.
